Overview
Summary

The City of Seattle, through its Seattle Center Department, invites proposals to enter a ground lease to redevelop the Thomas Street Gateway Site and operate a new, revenue-generating retail amenity or attraction that will complement the existing mix at Seattle Center.

Thomas Street is the busiest pedestrian corridor on the Seattle Center campus. It welcomes visitors from around Seattle, the region, and the world and connects to the growing neighborhoods of Uptown, Belltown, and South Lake Union. ​​

Seattle Center is redesigning Thomas over four blocks between 5th Ave. N. and 2nd Ave N. with a new festival street design featuring quality paving, landscaping, lighting and seating. The public project to refresh Thomas Street presents an opportunity for partnership to develop new retail space and/or attractions that will enliven the corridor, bring new visitors to Seattle Center’s campus, and spill out to create interest and engagement.
